A young man named Horie (Yujiro Ishihara) takes three months to cross the Pacific on a tiny yacht.
Reviewed by Chris Tookey


Horie's voyage could have been a hoary old subject, but thanks to inspired direction and superb cinematography by Yoshihiro Yamazaki, it is gripping throughout. The flashbacks to life on land are integrated effectively, and the unforgettable finale makes this a minor classic. One caveat: it's a movie that is best enjoyed on widescreen.
